The book is carefully organized and well written, and it deals with a question that is still of great importance-what is the relationship of the Bill of Rights to the states. -Journal of American History Curtis effectively settles a serious legal debate: whether the framers of the 14th Amendment intended to incorporate the Bill of Rights guarantees and thereby inhibit state action. Taking on a formidable array of constitutional scholars, … he rebuts their argument with vigor and effectiveness, conclusively demonstrating the legitimacy of the incorporation thesis… . A bold, forcefully argued, important study. -Library Journal
